Getbhavcopy version 2.1.0a released
|
|
Update: Version 2.1.0 has been released. Please refer to the release post
There is not much activity on the forums these days. May be everyone is really busy like I have been over the past few weeks (causing me to delay this release which i promised to do on 31 Jan). Anyway, i hope this new release spices things up a bit.
First of all I would like to draw your attention to the 'a' after the version number for this relese. If you noticed, none of the earlier releases had that. The 'a' stands for Alpha Release, which means that this is not a stable release (also called as a Release Candidate). In other words this release is not tested fully.
There are considerable new features that have been implemented, but I cannot test all of them in different environments that Getbhavcopy may be subjected to run. Hence there could be some potential bugs or issues that you can notice. This is more of a test version (or an early peek) to get your feedback to improve Getbhavcopy.
What's new ?
NSE futures data download.
Most of you have been asking for this for a long time, so here is the much needed feature for you. Both FUTIDX and FUTSTX data is downloaded for near, next and far series. Userdefined symbols can be added to these series. By default -I, -II and -III are appeneded to the symbols respectively. The cycles will also rollover to the previous ones providing a continuous chart for analysis.
Support for Proxy authentication to avoid 407 errors.
This is totally untested and I really need help of those who are behind proxy to test this. Plese post your findings in the forums.
Multithreading support.
Have you observed Getbhavcopy UI kind of hanging when it is downloading data? Well not any more as now the UI update and data download threads are different.
NSE Indev volume calculate option.
NSE Indices data has now started providing volume information too. This was not available earliler, hence Getbhavcopy used to calculate it. Now you have the option to avoid this calculation which results in less data to be downloaded (so faster download). However NSE may turn it off anytime (as seen in past) so you still have the option to enable calculation to go back the old way.
VIX data download.
NSE VIX data will also be downloaded.
New Options form
The Options form has been removed from the main download window and converted into a wizard kind of the form. You need to click the Next button from all tabs till you reach the final tab that provides the Save option.
Download
The download link is on the Getbhavcopy Download page. Check the Alpha Release section.
Install Instructions
To install download the zip file and read the Readme.txt file in the zip for more details. It contains very important points that should be read first before using the alhpa version (even for the seasoned Getbhavcopy users)
Donation
Finally, the donations have really dried up. Haven't recieved anything since past two months. So guys please tend to donate something, it really helps keeping me motivated.
Finally, test this version and report your issues on Forums. Also mention the Getbhavcopy version henceforth when posting in forums as there are two active versions now.
The current stable version 2.0.7 will continue to work till this becomes stable

Try deleting all the files in TEMP folder in GetBhavcopy folder.

any fix that i need to install??
thanks
link to download delivery data just in case you are not aware of the link. I suppose this should not be a difficult task as you are already doing this exercise for NSE data.

Message Downloading index data for NSEIT
Error Error sending Index Data HTTP POST for NSEIT
Error The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.
Since you asked for feedback on using 2.1.0a behind a proxy, I thought I should comment.
I'm using 2.1.0a from behind a WinGate HTTP Proxy running on localhost. Proxy address was defined in the options as http://127.0.0.1:8080 with no username/password. I am currently doing a batch download from 02/01/2009 to 02/03/2010 and so far the download is going smoothly.
I encountered only 1 issue so far. See the log below:

One general comment - is it possible to allow me to directly click to a tab in the Options rather than using the Prev/Next buttons. For ex. if I want to change BSE Data settings, it's much easier to directly click thru to that option than going through General and NSE Options.
FWIW, I'm using 2.1.0a on Win XP SP2 and with Admin rights.

Hi Anand,
Can you log this in the forums and provide more details. Can you provide an explicit date when you see the discrepancy.
Hi,
The 'problem' seems to be in data for some days between Mar'09 to Jun'09. This is what I get for:
Reliance -I
=========
2 Jun 2009 RELIANCE-I,20090602,2263,2263,2263,2263,1,300
3 Jun 2009 RELIANCE-I,20090603,0,0,0,2263,0,300
4 Jun 2009 RELIANCE-I,20090604,0,0,0,2263,0,300
5 Jun 209 RELIANCE-I,20090605,0,0,0,2263,0,300
8 Jun 2009 RELIANCE-I,20090608,0,0,0,2263,0,300
Reliance - II
==========
4 May 2009 RELIANCE-II,20090504,0,0,0,1831,0,0
5 May 2009 RELIANCE-II,20090505,0,0,0,1831,0,0
6 May 2009 RELIANCE-II,20090506,0,0,0,1831,0,0
11 May 2009 RELIANCE-II,20090511,0,0,0,1831,0,0
Reliance - III
==========
26 Jun 2009 RELIANCE-III,20090626,0,0,0,1981.75,0,0
29 Jun 2009 RELIANCE-III,20090629,2190.1,2190.1,2190.1,2190.1,1,150
I hope the formatting remains intact while publishing the blog.
Even upon being an Alpha its working like anything.
It's really a very good downloader!
Further it may be enhanced by incorporating provision of IEOD(cash segment) download which Google provide free.
Congrats man!!
Nothing can be better gift by you to small traders like us on Birthday of yours and GBC.
Can you log this in the forums and provide more details. Can you provide an explicit date when you see the discrepancy.
We traders could not thank enough for the efforts that you have put in. My heartfelt thank once again.
I downloaded the latest release and also downloaded data for few months. There seems to be some discrepancy in data, especially in months of May/June 2009 for all series. For example, Reliance-I on 3 June 2009 - open, high & low are 0 and close is 2263. I cross checked with the NSE BhavCopy and that has all datasets. Is it a generic issue or I am the only one to get this error ?
Just wanted to share my observation.
Hemen says...
Niraj,
On the Getbhavcopy download page the Alpha download link is just below the three mirror links for the current stable versions.
It has a highlighted text "Did you say Alpha ?"
Niraj says...
I am not able to find the latest alpha release. I am only able to download 2.0.7 ver. Where is it ?
Niraj,
On the Getbhavcopy download page the Alpha download link is just below the three mirror links for the current stable versions.

In short for any data downloaded by Getbhavcopy, if it exists on NSE or BSE server, Getbhavcopy will download it!!
